Formed in Liverpool in 1960, The Beatles had their roots in skiffle and 1950s rock 'n' roll, but as their career progressed, they dabbled in many musical forms, including pop ballads and psychedelic rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early days, they honed their skills playing clubs in their hometown and Hamburg, Germany, while manager Brian Epstein polished their act. He brokered a record deal with EMI producer George Martin, who helped the band maximise their musical potential. The Beatles' first single, \"Love Me Do,\" was released in 1962, becoming a modest hit. Towards the end of that year, they recorded \"Please Please Me,\" their first number one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe following year saw the advent of Beatlemania, and they became known as the 'Fab Four'; by early 1964, they had become international stars, leading the so-called 'British Invasion' by musical acts of the United States.
